i'd almost forgotten about the boy that tripped over my legs in the sunflower field until i'm walking into the cereal isle. i probably wouldn't have recognized him if he hadn't spoke. i don't think you could forget a voice that lovely.
"do you want the bigger box or the smaller?" he says. i look over. he has his phone pressed to his ear, and he's listening to the person on the other end talk. i don't look away, even though i should just grab my box of cereal and leave.
"i'm sorry.. what more do you want from me?" he sighs and then hangs up. i finally tear my eyes away before he notices. i grab the box of cereal and hurry down the isle.
it's not until i'm in my car that i realize i grabbed the entirely wrong kind of cereal. gosh dang it.
so i climb back out of my car and irritatedly march back into the store, and buy the right kind of cereal. the boy is gone, but what did i expect? i pay and hurry outside.
as i'm driving, i pass by the sunflower field. a song from my playlist starts playing. i know what it is, but it doesn't really register. 'ilusm' by gnash.
